Livi Loves Pink...
Ummm I was playing with my camera today because I figured I needed to change up my default picture...and I can't help but think my newest picture is reminiscent (sp?) of a Livi picture!

Wireless Networking...anyone know about it?
Okay, I figure MFP is a site that has lots of people with lots of special skills, and that's the reason I'm putting this out there.

If a lemon and a plum got married and had a baby...
Okay, as part of my new lifestyle, every time I am at the grocery store, I pick up a fruit or vegetable that I have never had before. Yesterday I picked up an apricot (never had them fresh, only dried and sweetened) and a lemon/plum fruit. This lemon/plum thing looks like a lemon...it is yellow in color and is about the…

100 calorie ice cream treat...can't remember the name...help
A few months ago, I bought a box of ice cream treats...they are sugar free (or reduced sugar) vanilla ice cream covered in chocolate on a popsicle stick, and the box was half toffee and half regular. I only had a few left, so my mom threw away the box that they came in and just put the individually wrapped ice cream bars…

Discouraged does not begin to describe it...
Okay, this is going to be kind of long, but I want to give all the details so hopefully someone can help me. I started my weight loss journey in July, and I started exercising right away...going from completely sedentary to at least 30-50 minutes a day, 5 or 6 days a week. I got a heart rate monitor right away and I…

If you can't afford a HRM...
I just got a sales promotion from K-Mart, and they have a lot of heart rate monitors that are on sale for less than $30. They aren't Polars, but for the price, they may be a great starter HRM for those who want one but can't spring for the more expensive ones right now...I'm pasting the links for the ones I saw...hopefully…
